Examples of Computational Science at Work (Invited Minisymposium)

Over the coming decade, high performance computers will surpass sustained
teraflops performance. This unheralded increase in computing capability is
already driving the growth in computation and simulation as major forces in
science and engineering at laboratories, universities, and industry. In
academia and the national laboratories, computation has evolved as a third
approach to science, joining the traditional methodologies of theory and
experiment. Likewise, in industry, high-performance computing will be key
to rapid design of highly effective processes and products and, hence, to
economic competitiveness and leadership.
